Full-Scale War (2)

Realizing that Moon Ha-yeon had been attacked,
At that moment, cursing and panic ensued.

Same place, same time.
Some of the villains and demons who had been transported to the [Hugin Munin Orb].

Unlike the main force heading to the front lines,
They were separately deployed from the start for rear disruption and to inflict maximum casualties.
The so-called massacre squad revealed themselves.

Since they did not consider fighting active hunters, most were at C-rank level.
Among them, only the team leaders were roughly B-rank, totaling about 50 people.

All of them ran through the forest as soon as the gate opened.
They weren’t exactly overwhelmingly strong, but they were still villains and demons.
All of them were seasoned and cruel criminals who had committed murder as a daily routine.

A characteristic of awakened ones is that their strength changes with their mindset.
Showing murderous intent against fellow humans without hesitation
Gave them an enormous advantage in battle.

The direction they were heading was none other than the <Dormitory>.
The growing sprouts and future hopes, the cadets,
Their ultimate goal was to kill as many as possible.

Swish-!

Among them, the man with a mask turned his feet the fastest,
The masked man ran forward.
He was undoubtedly the leader of the group.

His eyes gleamed ominously with a deadly resolve.
He lowered his mask and licked the dagger at his waist with a long tongue.

“Heh heh… I’ll get to taste the flesh of these young bastards after a long time.”
“Hey, boss~ Stop licking that rusty blade with your tongue. Don’t you know you’ll get tetanus?”
“Shut up, brat. You think I don’t know you’re itching to kill too? That bulge down there is disgusting, you bastard.”
“That’s right, heh heh. You don’t know how hard it was to hold back all this time. I don’t even know how many years it’s been since this order came down.”

Several years ago,
The clan master of <Dragon Sword Mir>,
Ju Ye-yong had diminished the momentum of many criminal clans.

The <Academy>, which they had been eyeing greedily, was guarded like a gatekeeper by an absurd monster called ‘Paechun Sword’.

Therefore, they could not recklessly attack,
Nor could they plan operations to kill the cadets.

But not anymore.
The time has finally come.
Excited by this fact, the villains and demons charged forward energetically.
To get their hands stained with as much blood as possible.

Then, a subordinate’s voice was heard.

“Oh? Leader, do you see over there?”
“Hmm? Where?”
“Ah, damn it, are you blind? It’s not a mask but an eye patch… Over there, over there! Those bloody lumps.”
“That brat… the way he talks…”

The masked man looked where the subordinate pointed.
Then he saw.

A group of about ten men and women mixed.
They somehow carried weapons at their waists,
But they were still novices who didn’t know the world’s cruelty.

The masked man licked his lips.
There was no better victim for a bloodthirsty massacre.

“Good, everyone, draw your weapons!”

At the signal, all subordinates drew their weapons.
Some couldn’t contain their desire and emitted demonic energy, proving themselves as ‘demons’.

And at that moment.

Thud-!
Crash-!

A sudden explosion.
At the same time, something broke and a sound of falling was heard.

“…?!?”
“…Damn it?!”
“What the hell!!”

A running subordinate’s head was lightly blown apart.
The masked man saw it clearly.
The identity of something rolling down near the instantly killed subordinate’s head.

That was…

“…A stone?”

An ordinary stone the size of a fist.
Soon, a barrage of flying stones assaulted them,
Subordinates’ heads burst one after another.

“Crazy!”

The masked man was terrified.
It was a sniper skill boasting absurd accuracy one by one.

It didn’t seem to be a special skill.
They just infused magic power to enhance it.
Yet the subordinates’ heads exploded.
This meant something simple.

‘At least A-rank.’

There was a powerful individual somewhere with a <Class> specialized in ranged attacks.
At the same time, it made no sense except that they had been waiting in advance.
Only then could they attack so accurately and one-sidedly now.
This was fatal.

The masked man gritted his teeth.
Damn, this is bullshit…!

“Damn it! Those Academy bastards! They knew about our raid in advance…-”

-Thunk!!

“…Phew.”

In the dark forest.
A woman lifted her sniper glasses upward.

She was a black-haired woman with bangs tied like apple hair.
She was Academy professor, Strict.

Usually wearing stern triangular glasses and not a suit but proper combat clothes,
She loaded a long object resembling a sniper rifle.

‘GAL’ is a world where firearms or gunpowder do not exist at all.
Therefore, what Prof. Strict handled was not a gun.

Structurally complex with various options to maximize firepower,
If defined strictly, it was a kind of large slingshot.

Strict aimed the sniper slingshot once again.
Exhaling half her breath, she aimed steadily without hesitation.
At the same time, each stone fired carried tremendous acceleration.

Professor Strict.
The cadets who knew little thought she was just an ordinary professor,
But she was once the ace of a well-known clan.

Her nickname was <Stone-throwing Owl>.
That was the title given to her by the system.

<Sniper> class,
Prof. Strict crushed villains’ heads one by one with her powerful shots.

Soon, beyond her sight, she saw villains charging at the tightly grouped cadets.
No matter how much Prof. Strict had received advance notice and waited.
Even with dozens of buffs and sniping, she couldn’t stop all the villains.

But Prof Strict did not worry.
Instead of warning them, she reduced her presence with the [Owl’s Veil] skill,
And sniped the villains who had not yet arrived.

The reason? Simple.

‘Hmph…’

They were cadets taught by none other than Prof. Strict herself.
And her subject was <Strategy>.
Among them, she thoroughly taught interpersonal combat against villains and demons.

All countermeasures were already ingrained in those kids’ bodies.

Shuk-!

“Everyone, gather into a tight formation!”
“Jeon Hee-joo! Shield, please!”
“Hehe~ Don’t worry!”

The kids showed excellent strategy against the enemy.
Even if it seemed like they were being pushed back, there was no worry.

The Holy Law spread brilliantly.
Each group of cadets had at least one or two nuns from the <Sisterhood> who cast powerful Holy Law.

“Gah, gah! Damn it! Why are these bitches licking the Lord’s ass here!!!”
“Stop your filthy talk and just die!!!”
“Die, die, die!”

With the nuns’ relentless clubbing,
Even the villains who barely arrived were easily defeated.

Soon, only silence filled the forest.
Prof. Strict lifted her glasses.
She pulled back the slingshot thinking, ‘Is it almost all cleaned up…?’

It was then.
With a ‘tap!’ sound, someone placed a hand on Prof. Strict’s shoulder.
Turning around, a female professor she knew was looking at her.

“…Professor Yang Ja-ga?

‘Why on earth is she here…?’ she wondered.
She was surely assigned elsewhere?

The female professor swallowed dryly,
And pointed her hand somewhere.
Turning her gaze, she saw villains still alive.

Prof. Strict aimed without hesitation.

Through the sniper scope, she saw fluttering balloons, not the real villains.
It was definitely a decoy skill.

‘…Fake!’

Prof. Strict felt a chilling sensation.
She hurriedly turned around.
The opponent who was a professor moments ago was melting and wobbling.

She immediately realized what it was.
A disguise using <Camouflage Slime>!

Inside it was the masked man she had thought was dead.
The leader of the villains!

Prof, Strict felt a sudden realization.
She never imagined he had such a trick up his sleeve.
The masked man raised his knife with bloodshot eyes.

“You damn bitch!”
“…!”

Prof Strict instinctively knew she was attacked.
Since he had closed the distance this far,
She had no way to respond.
Her eyes involuntarily closed.

But even after about 5 seconds of waiting,
The expected pain did not come.

“…?”

Prof. Strict opened her eyes.
Captured within a larger slime body,
She recognized the masked man suffering.

She naturally lowered her gaze.
White hair showing the passage of time,
She saw an elderly female professor neatly tied up.

She was Prof. Strict’s teacher,
And now a colleague working at the same Academy.

“Pr-Professor Bong Mi-chun…”
“Are you alright, Professor Strict?”
“Yes, thanks to you… thank you.”
“Well, this is the subject I teach… I never thought they’d come disguised as slime. It’s ridiculous.”

Bong Mi-chun snapped her fingers.
Soon, various magical energies swirled around her.
One by one, summoned creatures appeared, incredibly close to the real thing.
The summons used their senses to track and chase hiding or fleeing villains.

With her hands behind her back, Bong Mi-chun showed a deep smile.

“Well then…”

Shall we begin today’s lesson?

“As tuition…”

I’ll take your lives.
